Current Conditions Block Idea

Post by gjstenbe » Thu Feb 15, 2018 6:30 pm

Hello. Not sure if this idea has been proposed before, but had a thought regarding the Current Conditions block. Right now, the block displays either metric or imperial units based on settings. Would it be possible to add an option into the block for those of us metrically-challenged in the US to show both the default setting and then show conversions at the same time? I would definitely find it useful to see pressures in psi, mmHg, and millibars along with inches of Hg; temperatures in C as well as F; rain amounts in mm as well as inches; and wind speeds in knots and km/hr in addition to mph. Maybe display them under the More section so the conversions don't clutter the compressed block. I can provide the different conversion formulas I was using before if that would help. If there's another block that does this already, then please point me in the right direction. Otherwise, thanks in advance for the consideration!

I like this idea too... maybe similar to how the sticker shows the different units.
